John Coltrane

Coltrane

Impulse!

Totally unmissable just for the opener, a killer, 15-minute version of Arlen’s show-tune Out Of This World — drums and bass locking it down, Trane taking flight. From 1962, between Ole and Impressions.

John Coltrane

Live At Birdland

Impulse!

John Coltrane

Blue Train

Blue Note / Tone Poet

Hard-blowing bop classic from 1958, when Trane was with Monk. A crack sextet rounded out by the richly soulful trombone of youngster Curtis Fuller. Next stop, Giant Steps.

John Coltrane

Ole

Atlantic / Rhino

His last Atlantic is a masterpiece; modal heaven. Ole is thunderous, with two bass players; Aisha is a gorgeous ballad. ‘George Lane’ is Eric Dolphy; Freddie Hubbard’s here, too.
Superior, ‘crystal clear’, 140g pressing from Rhino.

John Coltrane

Giant Steps

Atlantic

Trane’s majestic debut for Atlantic, ushering in the 1960s. Refreshingly the CD-only alternates are intriguing (from several dates in 1959 with various pianists and drummers).

John Coltrane

My Favorite Things

Atlantic

With the classic, studio version of the title track. The drummer John Stevens used to rave about Steve Davis, seldom recorded but here on bass.

Blue World

Impulse!

Commissioned in 1964 for a film soundtrack — though only half the music was used — this is the classic quartet in gorgeous, relaxed, contemplative, from-the-heart re-visitings of Naima, Village Blues, Like Sonny and Traneing In; plus a new composition, Blue World. Nothing eye-opening, but so what. Warmly recommended.

John Coltrane

Impressions, Graz, 1962

Giant Steps (60th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)

Atlantic / Rhino

Remastered, adding a bundle of alternate takes and versions — including rehearsal and incomplete takes, as well as false starts — only previously included in the box-set The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings. Decent booklet, too.

A Love Supreme: Live In Seattle

Impulse!

John Coltrane

Chasin' The Trane Revisited

Ezz-Thetics

Transformatively remastered, first performances of Coltrane’s classic quartet, including the sensational debut of Chasin’ The Trane.
The two Impulse LPs Live at the Village Vanguard and Impressions, plus a second performance of Spiritual retrieved from a box-set.
‘The big deal is that the label’s Revisited series employs a combination of state-of-the-art mastering technology and outstanding engineers to deliver substantially improved audio. If you are using an even halfway decent hi-fi set up, you will notice the difference in clarity and presence, with Coltrane’s saxophone and Elvin Jones’ drums particular benificiaries. This makes Chasin’ The Trane Revisited practically a down by law must-have for Coltrane aficionados’ (Chris May).
